With a majority of Oakland Unified educators back on the picket lines Wednesday morning, marking Day 5 of their strike, some parents are now choosing to send their kids to school.

She and others say they're sending their kids to school in support of the school district, critical about the union's ongoing demonstrations outside 80 school sites.

"We teach kids all day, so I don't think we're really all that intimidating," Kasondra Walsh told ABC7 News. "But we're also not gonna stand around and not voice what we're fighting for." "Oakland teachers should be paid as much, if not more than any other teacher in the country, because they do some of the hardest work out there," parent Kongovi said. "However, common good goals are simply undemocratic."
